First break, second brief

Post by Jessica Muscat, Indigo 2


Alana - perfecting her cutlery

It was only a couple of weeks ago when we all were just brainstorming ideas. Now we have a matter of hours before our cutlery is due, and a new set of design and technical challenges awaits, the pressure is on. With the Easter break on our doorstep, we are all working frantically to use as much of the workshop as we can. Still even though workshop is closed for the break I am sure most of us will be glued to our benches at home filing and going up the emery paper chain, taking every last imperfection out of our freshly cut metal.


Simon & Miriam - end of term cabin fever?

On top of this, we have been given our next brief, and a new challenge to ponder and explore. Both stage 2 classes had to choose from a bunch of various postcards that were from a past time, sent long before most of us were born. Some of the cards had notes and letters written on them, some blank, however the images, the colours, the styles and the destinations had us all intrigued and stuck trying to choose which one we wanted to use. After narrowing it down to one final postcard we are now on the way to discovering a past memory and creating a new work of intrigue and beauty.
